How can I remove pandoc EPUB links in markdown conversion?

Hi there,

I am using the following shell command to convert from EPUB to Markdown,

pandoc "input.epub" -t gfm-raw_html -o output.md 

It's working well, except for the fact that EPUB links remain, like:

Is there a pandoc option to remove those ?

You could write a small Lua filter to remove them

Thank you so much, John. I more familiar with Haskell than Lua, but I'll try that path.
